Things never get back to normal. There never was a normal.

Things change and either you force your own change, or you allow your self to be changed.

And all it cost them was $1,000,000 donated to the inauguration fund

Yeah, that’s an odd choice for the page element to be.

The image and text are both in the linked article

Several hours after the White House post, the Department of Homeland Security put up its own Halo image with the message “Destroy the Flood,” and a link to the ICE recruitment page.

Comparing immigrants in the US to a parasitic alien life form that infects and annihilates advanced societies is not deeply offensive, it’s also rooted in the worst of human history: As seen in the untermenschen of the Holocaust and “cockroaches” in Rwanda, to name a couple recent examples, dehumanizing the “other” so you can more easily inflict cruelty, injustice, and horrors upon them is hardly a new technique, and the US government’s messaging was not subtle.

It kind of depends on if there is anything specific you want to try and forecast. That said, a lot to data scientists would probably point to Bayesian statistics

Dont worry. I’m getting fucked hard. By my government that hates me and by people like you who think they don’t need to even be informed of current events.

The apathy and inaction from you and your ilk is fucking me hard, and has killed many.

Its called the piss filter.

Generative models (what is often referred to as AI) are opaque and it’s almost impossible to understand exactly how something got added or why it’s happening. But somewhere along the way models started to use it and no one looking at the output thought it was bad enough to not post.

Man. I’m sorry you are experiencing reality. But like, maybe you should be aware of what is happening?

The fact that you are more mad about reading an article from PC gamer than that hundreds of thousands of people are being abducted says a lot about you.

You didn’t ask for a video game, but the first piece of media I thought of was, Yakuza Kiwami and Yakuza Kiwami 2. They literally made me cry at some scenes because of how wholesome parts of them are. He kinda adopts a little girl, and starts an orphanage. There’s even a section of the game where you just walk around town holding her hand. Although the game has a lot of mature elements and is not entirely about this.

I can’t really think of many parent/child wholesome media, but Mr Rodgers is something I enjoy watching with my daughter.

Edit, I just remembered, I Love Lucy is pretty wholesome with a parent child relationship

Except for scenes with Worf or Keiko

When I used windows, I would have issues every other update.

With Linux it’s like once a year, unless I do something stupid to my own system with sudo.

I still remember all the time I sunk trying to remove candy crush soda saga from the enterprise windows 10 image I cloned to all office computers back when I worked IT. That shit was basically a part of the core OS.

I did in fact get fired shortly after rebuilding all the on prem servers to be linux and introducing Linux mini-PCs which could be used to rdp into windows cloud pcs.

That was the last time I had to work as a windows admin so it was great to get fired and move onto full time Linux work.

yay

I’m not pretending anything. I literally did what I said and gave it to my grandma and I hooked her up with a local computer repair guy that will do house calls and knows Linux because I live very far away. This worked well for 10 years or so until she died.

Im not saying people don’t have issues with Linux. It’s still a computer.

Are you saying people don’t run into issues using windows?

If you need windows for very specific thjngs, I get it. But for most people, if they had a local PC shop that they could trust with Linux issues, then it would be as convenient as windows if not more.

I gave my grandma a Linux, she had no idea. All she needed was a web browser that didn’t feed her ads and give her issues. Fedora with KDE was super simple for her to figure out how to use and actually had better accessibility features for her. And it was free.

Linux is actually pretty noob friendly nowadays. And if you don’t want to mess with it yourself, you can buy computers with Linux preinstalled today.

I get that sometimes people just want to complain and not solution. But like, using windows and other surveillance capitalism adjacent products is a path to fascism so like…maybe people should just, critically evaluate their problems and think of solutions every now and then?

Show me the progress of your most recently opened audiobook.

Early bed is what I used to have for dinner

The increasing militarization of police, and their use of “less than lethal” weapons including rubber bullets and CS gas is one of the things that was heavily discussed by the mainstream after the death of George Floyd. So was the tactics used by police, like ketteling peaceful protesters. But it was a problem before Rodney king was murdered too.

There has been a long buildup of Americans losing their rights to protest and freely express themselves even before the 9/11 attacks and Bush declaring a “war on terror” or Regan declaring a “war on Drugs”. Both of which were really just ways to militarize police forces against the communities they were supposed to serve.

Remember the whole, “Are you or have you ever been a Communist?” time of American history. You weren’t allowed to freely express yourself as an American then either.

Really, it could be argued that our “inalienable rights” were just some gentlemen’s agreement that were never really ours, and many actively got punished and even murdered for exercising those rights.

Really, to answer your question, I don’t think anyone alive today ever experienced a time where it was ok to majorly disagree with the American government. And after decades of letting police do really whatever they wanted and giving them military equipment, no one really thinks this is illegal because this is the precedent.
